When do stigmas unlock?
Stigma skills open at character level 22 (Ascension grade 3) for every class; the first stigma slot opens at level 22 and you can slot 4 at the level cap. The game says: "Choose appropriate Stigma Skills and switch between them, depending on the situation, such as PvP and boss fights."
When does Daevanion unlock?
The first Daevanion board of each class opens at character level 12. The game's text says completing the second Ascension activates the Daevanion Board. A growth board that enhances character stats and skills. Use Daevanion Crystals or Fragments to boost stats and skill levels.
How do I fly?
Daeva possess a unique ability to change wings and fly. Completing the Ascension quest in Poeta or Ishalgen grants you basic wings and unlocks flight. Press the Flight button to switch to Flight mode. Use movement controls in this state to fly in the direction of your choice. As you explore Atreia, you may come across paths formed by streams of blue light. These are known as Windstreams.
What is Odyle Energy?
Odyle Energy automatically recharges by 15 points every 3 hours. A system used when receiving Odyle Energy Cube Rewards from Expedition (Exploration/Conquest), Transcendence, and Sanctuary content. When opening a Cube, Odyle Energy can be infused up to 2 times.
What are Abyss Points?
A mark of honor won on the fields of a war without end. Abyss Points accumulate as they are earned through PvE or PvP. Once the accumulated amount reaches the limit, only a small amount of additional Abyss Points can be obtained through Spacetime Rifts. The cumulative limit increases after the weekly reset.
Which faction should I pick, Elyos or Asmodian?
The files do not rate the factions. The game's own text: "The Elyos/Asmodian servers are separated. They cannot meet under normal circumstances." Items, quests and shops list the faction they belong to.
